INSIGHT 精辟洞见 GEMSWORLD | 22 | 2026 | Bernardette Sto. Domingo 杜明高 | Coloured gemstone specialist Color Jewels Inc attributes a strong business in 2025 to solid demand for luxury gems in leading jewellery markets such as Asia and the US, with the trio of rubies, sapphires and emeralds garnering particularly robust buyer interest. According to Color Jewels Managing Director Ashish Dangayach, other highly regarded gems such as Paraiba tourmaline and Mahenge spinel, especially those bearing exceptional colour and clarity, also moved fast. Asian buyers led the demand for premium pieces while Europe and the US drove business for important single stones for custom and high jewellery production. “2025 was a strong year, with the biggest growth coming from Asia and the US. Demand for fine rubies, blue sapphires and high-quality emeralds was steady across both retailers and private clients,” remarked Dangayach. “The major challenge was sourcing as top Burmese and Colombian stones have become harder to come by.” Top-range gems Fuelled by continuously steady demand, prices for top Burmese rubies and sapphires and Colombian emeralds increased by a percentage margin that Dangayach described as high-single to low-double digits in 2025. Sturdy market demand coupled with tighter supply of gems with good colour and trusted origin contributed to the spike in prices. “With limited output coming from Myanmar and Colombia, prices of the best goods have gone up. We expect this trend to continue due to scarce supply,” shared the company official. As sales continue to gain momentum, Color Jewels is eyeing to expand its reach in potential areas of growth in Asia and Europe – markets where its business saw a steady uptick throughout 2025. Asian and European clients are paying closer attention to origin, certification and one-of-a-kind pieces, revealed Dangayach. “We are also watching the Middle East and India Curators of high-end gems Color Jewels: Color Jewels: 高端宝石的专业买手 Thriving demand for luxury gems, particularly rubies, sapphires and emeralds alongside other captivating stones will continue to provide impetus to the trade amid supply and macroeconomic challenges. 尽管面临供应和宏观经济的挑战,但市场对奢华宝石,尤其是红宝石、蓝宝石和 祖母绿,还有其他令人着迷的彩色宝石的旺盛需求,将继续推动宝石贸易的发展。
